Honoured S I R
Some years fince whenI had firft the happinefs of
being known to you, and at the fame time La-
\i
boured under great Difcouragements in my endea-
vours to fervetlie Publick : You weregenerouflyplea-
fed to offer mea Confiderable Employment in IreUnA^ \\
which favour I had readily, and thankfully accepted,
could I have extricated my felf from feveral Difficul-
ties, which then did, and ilill dolie upon me.
'Tis now my Fortune to be engaged in the Service
ofthe 'B.oyalFijhery ComfanyofEngknd^ whoafter they
had loft their Stock of Eleven thoufand Pounds,
(chiefly by reafon the French took Six of their Seaveil
Doggers, with their Ladings, c^f.) didin 3«/y, 1680.
Sell their Vcflels and Stores, and though they came to
a Subfcription for a New-Stock, yet the affair would
have fainted away again, without your afliftance,
which hath revived itfor the prefent. :
And though I am obliged to you in this double
Bond ofDuty and Gratitude, yetthechiefMotive of
this Dedication, was indeed the fame that occafioned
the Publilhing this Difcourfe, viz,. The greatdefirel
have to fee this Company Fluurifh, by procuring it
fome confiderable Encouragement , which I hope
may, and will bedone by yourmeans. ' ^'

AILthat areacquainted with you knowj that your
Studies and Endeavours for many years, have aimU
at nothing fo much? as the promoting his Majefties
Is Honour and Interefl:, by the Improvement of hisRe-
venue both in Englattd and Ireland, which you right-
ly fay muft be effeded by the increafe of Trade and
Manufadure, to enrich his People, and make them
Happy I fhall therefore ufe no otherArgument toftir

be contrived theraifing ofa fufficieiit Fund, to carry
onthis great aflfairjHeaven feemsto lend us its helping
hand, by infatuating the Councilsof the Fre^ch-Ki^g,
who while he aims at univerfai Monarchy and Trade,
drives over hithergreat numbers of his poor Prote-
ftant Subjeds, very fit to beemployed in the Fifhery,
&c. whichif it thrive,isalone enough to fpoil his Pro-
jtft, and to fccure unto England^ the Sovcraignty of
the Seas.
This is a noble Task, the compaHing whereof,
would entitle the Perfons concern'd to the pubiick - .5-
thanksofthe Nation, and the Prayers of many thou-
fands ofpoor People who mufl be employed therein
